Analyses and summaries recently presented in the
Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) indicate that many of the dramatic changes observed
in the circulation and physical characteristics of the oceans
over the past century will continue in the future. As one of the
major limitations of the global climate models that are used to
estimate these future projections is their relatively coarse resolution,
statistical or dynamical downscaling is often needed to provide
sufficient spatial detail in the variables of interest. This session
will address the downscaling of global climate model variables
relevant to marine ecosystems, with emphasis on (1) downscaling
techniques and/or their application to particular regions or variables,
and (2) analysis of global climate model projections, or results
from higher-resolution regional ocean, or coupled atmosphere-ocean
models that are forced by, and take their boundary conditions
from, global climate models.
